        The correct direction would be to get a new commissioner, and then instruct the Police to use the laws that already exist (without fear or favour), to identify crime, arrest and charge the accused's, and put them in front of the courts. Not to sit, scared, in their stations/cars.

        If responding to criminal activity in the streets is not within the remit of the police then wtf are you there for?

        Amazing. How do inept people like this end up in positions of power? Is it purely because they've never offended anyone by not doing anything? Guess police don't solve crime, judiciary doesn't apply law & no need for a government in Victoria... 😞😞😞

        Police are lazy and stupid. They choose idiots to be police because they blindly follow orders from above.

        Well of course. Under his command the Victorian police force has no idea how to deal with the problem.

        Who's responsible? Police need to do their job: CATCH AND DEPORT.
